Rachel Hunter is not a movie star

Tonight, in an effort to escape all the Christmas music being piped into the gallery (I swear I heard three different versions of Frosty the Snowman in a row), I wandered on down to the Barnes and Noble on my break. I was half-looking for a book for my brother since Chanukah is not too far off. I didn't find one, but I did find a book on the best patisseries in Paris, which was infinitely more interesting to me anyway. But the best part came when I went to look at art books (since Brother has expressed a budding interest in art). So I walk past the photography section, noticing a man sitting against the wall whilst flipping through a book. I didn't think much of it until I went back to give the photography section a more serious perusal. And then I took note of what this guy was perusing: The New Erotic Photography. When he realized that I wasn't going anywhere her nervously slammed the book shut and stuffed it back onto the shelf and shuffled away, head hung low. Totally busted! It was awesome! And gross! And awesome!

And speaking of "awesome" check out this link of Vogue's favorite artists' holiday picks! I know I always take my holiday gift cues from Henri Matisse's great granddaughter.

I like that a few of the artists in that Vogue piece recommend other artists' work, but most of them just shill their own stuff, like those playing cards or Sophie Matisse's ugly-ass painted eBay objects. Sophie Matisse wasn't going to waste this brief second in the limelight by repping someone else's work.
